Reviews for Bran Castle

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful castle, especially for its architecture and location. But be careful not to come expecting to visit "Dracula's castle": there is no evidence that Dracula ever lived there. The association with Dracula is primarily based on legend and tourist marketing. There is perhaps a rumor that he was imprisoned there for a time, but that's all. For a place truly linked to Dracula, look instead at Poenari Fortress, which was a real fortress where he lived. So come to Bran for the castle, not for Dracula. (Original) Très beau château, surtout pour son architecture et son emplacement. Mais attention à ne pas venir en pensant visiter le « château de Dracula » : il n’existe aucune preuve que Dracula y ait vécu. L’association avec Dracula relève surtout de la légende et du marketing touristique. Il y a éventuellement un rumeur qu’il y ait été emprisonné quelques temps mais sans plus. Pour un lieu réellement lié à Dracula, regardez plutôt la forteresse de Poenari qui était une vraie forteresse où il y a vécu. Venez donc à Bran pour le château, pas pour Dracula.

nice mansion type of castle, compact and possible to visit within 1 hour, somewhat disappointing in terms of the "standard entry" fee. paid options include more chambers, torture museum and a mysterious although short passage. nice grounds around the castle. it's advised to buy tickets online prio the visit, recommended morning hours before crowds start. also it's better to find parking spot at a distance.

I am sorry but it was disappointing :( a castle itself is beautiful, but that's it. However the market outside the castle was great 👍

(Translated by Google) TOURIST TRAP. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. The truth is, this castle isn't even one of the important castles to visit if you're interested in Dracula's story. They sell it to you as his castle, but the truth is he barely ever set foot here. Besides, when you enter the castle, you'll find zero information about the Count's history if you haven't paid extra for the tour guide. The kings of Romania lived in this castle 100 years ago; that's what you'll read and see on the information panels. You'll keep expecting to find information about Dracula, and you won't find anything. Of course, from the outside, it's a very pretty castle, but it's far from being as impressive as other castles in Romania, even from the outside. We saw it in half an hour, although in total, we spent 50 minutes inside, including the time spent waiting in line with the crowds of tours—more than 20 people ahead of us. Incidentally, this castle is privately owned, hence its high price and the fact that they charge you for each extra room you want to look at. (Original) TOURIST TRAP. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY. La realidad es que este castillo ni siquiera es de los castillos importantes que visitar si te interesa la historia de Drácula. Te lo venden como su castillo pero lo cierto es que el a duras penas pasó por aquí. Además cuando entras al Castillo historia del conde 0 si no has pagado el extra por el guía turístico. En este castillo vivían los reyes de Rumanía hace 100 años, es lo que vas a leer y ver en los paneles informativos, vas a seguir esperando leer información sobre Drácula y no vas a encontrar nada. Por supuesto por fuera se ve un castillo muy bonito pero está muy lejos incluso desde el exterior de ser tan impresionante como otros castillos en Rumanía. Lo vimos en media hora aunque en total tardamos 50 minutos dentro si contamos el tiempo de espera en cola con la masificación de toures de más de 20 personas delante nuestra. Por cierto este castillo está en manos privadas, de ahí su elevado precio y que te cobren por cada habitación extra que quieras mirar.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful from the outside, but unfortunately a complete tourist trap inside. The castle undoubtedly looks picturesque and photogenic from the outside, but the visit itself fully lived up to the expectations of a typical tourist trap. We were particularly disappointed by the exaggerated marketing as "Dracula's Castle": Vlad Țepeș played hardly any role here historically, and at most, he spent a few days in the dungeon – yet the myth is exploited all the more shamelessly on site. They definitely could have gotten much more out of the place historically and atmospherically, instead of focusing so heavily on the Dracula theme. The pricing is especially annoying: You pay the regular entrance fee outside, and once inside the castle, you're charged extra for two additional, smaller exhibitions. Anyone in the area can take a photo of the exterior – inside, however, you're more likely to be pushing your way through crowded aisles and paying extra at every turn. Rather disappointing for us. (Original) Von aussen hübsch, innen leider die pure Touristenfalle ​Das Schloss sieht von aussen zweifellos malerisch und fotogen aus, aber der Besuch selbst hat die Erwartungen an eine typische Touristenfalle voll erfüllt. ​Schade fanden wir vor allem die übertriebene Vermarktung als „Draculaschloss“: Vlad Țepeș hat hier historisch gesehen kaum eine Rolle gespielt und er sass höchstens für ein paar Tage im Verlies – dafür wird der Mythos vor Ort umso hemmungsloser ausgeschlachtet. Man hätte historisch und atmosphärisch definitiv viel mehr aus dem Ort herausholen können, statt sich so platt auf die Dracula-Schiene zu versteifen. ​Besonders störend ist die Preisgestaltung: Man zahlt bereits draussen den regulären Eintritt, und sobald man in der Burg ist, wird für zwei zusätzliche, kleinere Ausstellungen nochmals separat extra abkassiert. ​Wer in der Gegend ist, kann es für das Foto von aussen mitnehmen – drinnen drängt man sich jedoch eher durch vollgestopfte Gänge und zahlt an jeder Ecke drauf. Für uns leider eher enttäuschend.
